On Saturday, Janury 22, 1944, he began feeling bad with the flu and went to bed; on Monday, January 24th, he got up but had temperature and after coming up from the basement he got a very bad breathing spell; about 8:30 P.M. the doctor was called. He told him he would havo to stay in bed as he still had effects of the flu. On Wednesday, January 28th, they noticed his leg was swollen from the calf of the leg to the ankle; the doctor came again, Monday, January 31st, and said he would have to be in bed at least four days, that a blood clot had formed in his leg. He preferred going to the bathrom and Tuesday, February 1 he tried it and got back to bed O.K., but there he had another very bad breathing spell, supposedly from his heart. Sally stayed downstairs all night with her mother to care for him. Wednesday morning he had a cough and his breathing was still uncomfortable; in the P.M. he had temperature to about 101 degrees; the doctor advised the medicine to be continued all night; he rested fair, but complained he was very weak. At 12:30 Thursday A.M. he took a drink and Minnie also fell asleep, and was awakened by his coughing at ten minutes to six o'clock; he could hardly get his breath and she called Sally and Alton to help raise him up in bed and his breathing become worse right along; they called the doctor and his breathing became shorter and shorter, by the time the doctor arrived he had taken his last breath in a sitting position in bed. The doctor thought he had another stroke and his face showed a little drawn to one side. Soon Aunt Louise and Sally and Uncle Louis Bittner came and Sam and Lydia Zehr, but
Helplessly around we gather
When death calls on those we love
God has chosen one more angel
To His multitude Above.
